Broyles Award Winner Joe Brady Reportedly Leaving LSU for NFL

NEW ORLEANS– It hasn’t taken looking for Joe Brady to make headlines of his own.

Less than a day after he helped LSU win the national championship as the Tigers’ passing coordinator, the 30-year old Brady will reportedly become the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL when he agreed to join Matt Rhule’s new staff on the Carolina Panthers.

Brady has quickly risen to stardom, going from a graduate assistant at Penn State in 2015 to an offensive assistant with the NFL New Orleans’ Saints in five years.
He recently agreed to an extension with LSU that reportedly would have doubled his $410,000 salary. When he said last Saturday he intended to stay put at LSU, his extension did not prohibit his leaving for the NFL or a head coaching job in college and the Brady to Carolina whispers have been there for the last three days.
Brady made a name for himself when he put in a spread offensive system when he helped quarterback Joe Burrow win the Heisman Trophy and MVP of the college football playoff championship game when he threw for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns, both single season NCAA FBS record.

Brady won the Broyles award given to the best assistant coach in college football and his loss will be felt through the LSU football community, which must replace Burrow while maintaining a high octane offense.
